As we stated in our Bose QuietComfort Earbuds (2024) review, "If it's drive and musicality you’re after, then the [Bose] deliver in spades. They’re powerful and punchy performers that build an entertaining sound on the foundations of robust low frequencies, an expressive midrange and controlled highs." At this level, you'll struggle to do better.

The JLab Go Pop ANC currently hold the title of 'best super cheap' option in our guide to the best budget earbuds – and for good reason. They deliver clear audio, surprisingly effective noise cancellation and a range of fun color options – all at a phenomenally low price. For just $20 this Prime Day, you really can't go wrong.

Beloved by audiophiles, these stylish headphones "are a markedly more comfortable than any earbuds I’ve ever worn."
